#TrumpVsMusk In a late-night post on social media, Trump responded to Musk and threatened to direct the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) against the tech billionaire.

Trump wrote on his page on his platform "Truth Social": "Elon Musk may have received much greater financial support than any human in history, and without that financial support, his factory would likely have closed and he would have returned to South Africa. We will no longer witness the launch of rockets or satellites or the production of electric cars, and our country will save a huge fortune. Perhaps we should ask the Department of Government Efficiency to take a closer and serious look at this? A huge amount of money can be saved!!!"
